Idea of improving affix rolls on tiered items drops

Tala moana GGG,

Firstly I want to express my gratitude for creating such an amazing game. I've been a dedicated player since end of 2023 and couldn't stop playing. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!

I wanted to share some feedback regarding the current state of tiered items in late endgame maps. It often feels disheartening to find these items only to discover that they have incredibly low rolls on their affixes. This can make the endgame experience less rewarding and somewhat frustrating.

Idea: Perhaps higher rolls on affixes based on item levels could be implemented. This adjustment would not only enhance the excitement of finding tiered items in endgame maps but also benefit deterministic crafting approaches such as using essences. It would ensure that really good vendor items do not have the same outcomes as endgame drops making the latter more valuable and satisfying.

Thank you once again for your continuous efforts and dedication to improving the game. I wish the entire GGG team a successful and fantastic year ahead!

greetings,
pounty

This is a great post. I'm all for the RNG and whatnot, but I feel if GGG is shooting for a wider audience to play PoE 2, then I have to echo that ilvl/tiers should matter on the gear. It sucks getting an ilvl 85 or Tier 7 piece of gear, and rolling a Tier 10 (PoE 2) or Tier 1 (PoE 1) stats in the gear over and over again. It's worse off in PoE 2, since we're not really crafting vs gambling in gear. Otherwise, why have such ilvls/tiers in the gear, aside from increasing your chances of rolling higher tier stats? RNG should be fun, not annoying. The best way to do that is raise the floor on how low your stats can roll based on the ilvl/tier of the gear.

Just spit balling here.
